"Fourth brother really came at the wrong time." Lu Zhixing leaned lazily on the chair, his face full of contempt.
"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Zhixing dared not to salute, but Song Yushu did not dare to do so. She saluted Lu Yanzhou respectfully.
Lu Yanzhou nodded gently to Song Yushu, then said to Lu Zhixing, "Ninth brother, why did I come at the wrong time?"
Acting like a caring older brother, Lu Zhixing raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Fourth brother, if you have something to say, just say it. I am a cripple and just want to lie down. I really don't want to entertain you."
"We are brothers, why do we need to socialize?" A hint of darkness flashed across Lu Yanzhou's eyes, but his expression was very gentle.
Lu Zhixing laughed sarcastically, as if he had heard something amusing. "Alright, Fourth Brother, stop pretending. You haven't been to this palace in years. What are you planning to do this time?"
"Since you've said so, I won't hide it anymore. I do have something to ask of you." Lu Yanzhou sighed softly and rubbed his temples. "I've had a headache lately, and even the imperial physician can't help. I heard you have a young eunuch who's skilled in medicine, so I'd like to ask for your help."
Song Yushu did not hide the fact that she knew medicine. She even took the initiative to publicize it in order to make it more reasonable for Lu Zhixing to favor her.
After all, it was common knowledge that Lu Zhixing wanted to regain his sight, but the head of the Imperial Hospital had already made it clear that it was impossible.
Lu Zhixing's expression remained unchanged. He propped up his head and said, "How could there be such a little eunuch? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Ninth brother, you didn't know?" Lu Yanzhou's ability to lie with his eyes open was even greater than Lu Zhixing's. "It's this guy next to you. He looks young, but he actually has such a talent."
"Oh, you mean my chief secretary?" Lu Zhixing sneered, "Your Highness, you're really arrogant. If you want to be my chief secretary, go ahead and ask for it."
Lu Yanzhou was silent for a moment, his expression filled with apology. "It turned out to be your Chief Secretary, Ninth Brother? I really didn't know. I just wanted to borrow it to relieve my headache. I have no intention of stealing it. Ninth Brother, please don't overthink it."
"I'm sorry, but I really need a caring and medical follower. I'm afraid I can't do what Your Highness wishes." Lu Zhixing crossed his arms, completely unmoved.
Even though he was crippled, his ninth brother was still so arrogant and wanton. Lu Yanzhou's mouth twitched slightly, and he said softly, "Ninth brother, my headache is really uncomfortable. Today, my father saw it and talked about it. I accidentally mentioned that there is a person in your house..."
"Are you threatening me with my father?" Lu Zhixing's eyebrows were prominent, like a sharp sword unsheathed, emitting a domineering aura that looked down upon the world. He turned towards Lu Yanzhou and shouted, "Since you've already told my father, why are you pretending to ask me? Song Yushu! Follow the Crown Prince and get out of Prince Jing's Mansion!"
Before Lu Yanzhou could say anything, he was interrupted by something Lu Zhixing threw on the ground.
"Your Highness, please be careful." Song Yushu hurriedly blocked Lu Yanzhou's way and asked, "Your Highness, please leave the study first."
Even though he was blind, Lu Zhixing was still the most handsome man in Dayan Dynasty. The perfection he exuded made Lu Yanzhou jealous to the point of madness.
But he couldn't show it. His mother had told him since he was a child that he must not let others know that he, a crown prince, would actually envy a prince.
Lu Yanzhou, who was being led out of the study, showed no sign of anger. He just sighed and shook his head, "Ninth brother's temper is getting worse and worse."
Song Yushu bowed and apologized, her face full of worry, "Your Highness, please forgive me. The prince's temper is indeed getting worse. Perhaps it is because of his eye disease that he can't..." She suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had said something wrong.
"Ninth brother is a patient, so I won't bother with him." Lu Yanzhou felt a little happy, and his face became more gentle. "It's just because of me that you have offended Ninth brother."
"His Royal Highness's condition is serious. I'm just a servant. It's my duty to share my masters' worries. The prince is just angry for a moment. He will understand. His Royal Highness's headache is serious." Song Yushu looked serious, as if he was not worried at all about Lu Zhixing being angry.
It seems that the rumors that this young eunuch is extremely favored and Lu Zhixing obeys his every word are true.
Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou rubbed his temples and said, "Ninth Brother is a sensible man. My headache is indeed a bit uncomfortable. So, I will send someone to pick you up from the mansion tomorrow. You can have a good talk with Ninth Brother."
"Your servant thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Song Yushu bowed gratefully and personally escorted Lu Yanzhou out of the palace.
After sending the person away, Song Yushu returned to the study, "Song Chun, clean up here."
Song Chun, who was following behind Song Yushu, immediately took the order and quickly cleaned up the debris scattered on the ground.
Lu Zhixing was still as lazy as ever, his lips slightly pursed, his disdain evident, "Is that fake guy gone?"
"His Royal Highness has indeed left. I personally escorted him to the door." Song Yushu stepped forward and poured Lu Zhixing a cup of tea. "He said someone would come and pick me up tomorrow."
Lu Zhixing touched the rim of the teacup. The jade-green color of the cup made his fingers look even more slender and fair, giving no sign that he was once a victorious general on the battlefield. "Your methods of winning people's hearts are still so low-level. Don't let your greed blind you."
"I have said that when I die, I belong to the people of Prince Jing's Mansion. When I die, I belong to the ghosts of Prince Jing's Mansion. Moreover, all my power is in the hands of your Highness. Do you think I will be blinded by greed?" Song Yushu explained in a gentle voice with two dimples on the corners of his mouth.
Lu Zhixing, who was looking down on the prince, was slightly stunned. He seemed to be able to see the dimples on the corners of Song Yushu's mouth just now!
But when he opened his eyes and looked at the teacup in front of him seriously, he could only see a blurry green color, which made him more and more upset the more he looked at it.
"Bang--"
Lu Zhixing suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand onto a bookshelf not far away, and the shattered jade pieces scattered all over the floor like flowers from a fairy.
Song Chun, who had just come back from cleaning up the broken pieces on the ground, could only twitch his lips when he saw this scene and asked Song Yushu for instructions.
Song Yushu raised his chin slightly, signaling Song Chun to continue cleaning up.
"Your Highness, are your eyes hurting again? Would you like me to give you a massage?" Song Yushu discovered that Lu Zhixing always opened his eyes inexplicably recently, and then got angry inexplicably.
I guess the toxins in my eyes are being forced out, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. It seems that my skills have not regressed. Maybe the ancient poison is too strong. I may need to spend more effort.
"You should save your energy to massage that prince!"
